== Plugins checked out ==

=== Layout and types ===
'''Custom Post Type UI''' & '''Advanced Custom Fields''': the equivalent of Drupal CCK / Fields, viewing and creating new content types and fields

'''Post formats''' (in-built) & '''Custom Sidebars''' &''' Page Builder by SiteOrigin''' & '''Widgets''' (in-built): like Panels / Context, Page Builder is on a post-by-post basis, Post formats is a template system, not related to the post-type, No current direct post-type <-> layout system found

'''Aqua Page Builder''': template creation for posts -> uses shortcodes though

'''Meta Box:''' 

'''Simple Page Ordering'''

'''TinyMCE Advanced'''

'''Types''' - Complete Solution for Custom Fields and Types: prefer Custom Post Type UI & Advanced Custom Fields

Conclusion: 
Drupal Panels style create a custom template: the only way out-of-the-box to style a HTML page for a custom type is with PHP post-initiative-profile.php template. Post-formats should do this but the list is hard-coded in WordPress 3.9.1.
Drupal CCK fields management is the same. with field groups and content-type visibility rules.

=== Misc ===
'''Akismet''': spam blocking

'''Broken Link Checker''': powerful lovely broken link checking and information

'''Query Wrangler''': equivalent of Drupal Views

'''Newsletter''' & '''MailChimp'''

'''WP-PostRatings''': 5 star

'''Google Analytics''' & '''Google Maps integration'''

'''UpdraftPlus''' - Backup/Restore

'''WordPress Importer'''

'''WP Maintenance Mode'''

'''Theme Check''': theme code standards checking
